| Summary | "L'autre monde; ou, Histoire comique des Etats et Empires de la Lune" by Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac is a satirical novel written in the mid-17th century. This work explores themes of science, philosophy, and human nature through a humorous narrative. The protagonist's journey begins as he contemplates the idea that the Moon may be a world equivalent to Earth, engaging in debates with friends and philosophical musings. The opening of the novel introduces the protagonist, who, after a gathering with friends, reflects on the Moon's nature and its potential for habitation. This thought deepens into a conviction that the Moon might, in fact, be a land like their own. After being inspired by a strange encounter with a text discussing lunar inhabitants, the protagonist embarks on a fantastical journey to the Moon, equipping himself with bottles of dew in a bid to ascend to the celestial body. He experiences a surreal landing in a land populated by curious, naked inhabitants and engages in remarkable dialogues that blend whimsical elements with profound philosophical questions about the nature of the universe.
